Yellow Tip Aussie Elegance Coral

General information

The Yellow Tip Aussie Elegance Coral has a close resemblance to sea anemones since they have relatively long tentacles. Regardless of night or day, their tentacles are always exposed and out showing their elegant color, especially with the right lighting requirement.

This is the water parameters for cultivating Yellow Tip Aussie Elegance Coral:

• Calcium: 420 – 430 ppm
• Alkalinity: 2.86 – 4.29 MEQ/L (8 – 12 dKH)
• Phosphates: 0
• Magnesium: 1280 – 1350
• Strontium: 8 -10 mg/L
• Temperature: 72° – 78° F (22° – 26° C)
• Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 – 1.025
• pH: 8.1 – 8.4

While the Yellow Tip Aussie Elegance Coral gets its primary nourishment from symbiotic zooxanthellae living within its tissues, they require supplemental feedings like the addition of mysis or brine shrimp. We also recommend the addition of dissolved nutrients.

A mature tank is highly recommended in cultivating Yellow Tip Aussie Elegance Coral. They should be set on the bottom part of the tank. In setting them, make sure to place their skeletal foundation to soft rubble to prevent flesh irritation.

The Yellow Tip Aussie Elegance Coral requires moderate lighting and low to medium water flow.

The Yellow Tip Aussie Elegance Coral has aggressive behavior. So, you have to give them ample space between corals. This is on top of the fact that their long tentacles can sting and invade nearby polyps.

Yellow Tip Aussie Elegance Coral are purely marine species. Therefore, salinity must be entirely maintained from 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
